The right for self-determination of peoples is one of the principles
that should be basic for the settlement of the Karabakh issue and
other conflicts, EU Special Envoy for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby
told the journalists after the meeting with the President of Nagorno
Karabakh in the NKR Permanent Representation in Yerevan.

At the same time he underlined that it is not the only principle,
referring to the Helsinki Final Act, which includes also
other principles, among which is the territorial integrity of
states. "However, the principle you mentioned should be one of the
basis ones," Peter Semneby added.
